This application is a Continuation-In-Part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/179,170, filed Nov. 2, 2018 and entitled “Reversible crosslinking reactant composition”, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/580,483, filed on Nov. 2, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein

The technical field relates to a reversible crosslinking reactant composition.

In end of 2015, European union published Circular Economy Package (CEP). The compositions and components of products in future should meet the requirements of being repairable, durable, and recyclable to achieve circular economy. In addition, the Paris Agreement in 2016 proposed to reduce greenhouse gas emission and keeping a global average temperature below 2° C. above pre-industrial levels.

Of the elements of conventional electronic products, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are responsible for the most CO2 emissions, e.g. over 100000 kg CO2/10000 m2 PCB. As such, the related industries are encountering the challenges of efficiently recycling waste PCBs to lower CO2 emissions, while simultaneously obeying the energy related ecodesign directives. The conventional method of recycling a waste PCB is to crush it and then purifying or burying the metal and plastic in a landfill. However, the recycling ratio is usually lower than 3%. Therefore, in practice, waste PCBs still get incinerated, which may produce a lot of CO2 and contribute to the greenhouse effect. The skill of purifying metal has matured in recent years, and 130 kg of copper, 19 kg of tin, and about 16 ounce of gold can be refined from 1 ton of PCBs today. However, a PCB contains about 54.5% of plastic, which is the major CO2 emission source. The plastic in a PCB includes insulation resin and glass fiber cloth. All the conventional resin systems for PCBs belong to thermosetting polymer, which has stable properties and is therefore difficult to recycle. Although decomposable thermoplastic polymer is provided, the glass transfer temperature, the thermal cracking temperature, and the flame resistance of the thermoplastic polymer should be improved even further, in order to achieve the properties of the conventional insulation resin in PCB.

Not only the PCB, the resin composition used in other products that need to withstand high temperatures during process or use also encounters the similar challenge when the demands of recycling wastes is increased.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a reversible crosslinking reactant composition.

The furan group of the oligomer and the maleimide group of the bismaleimide compound in the composition will crosslink through 1,2-addition at a suitable temperature. The crosslink bonding will be broken by reverse reaction at another suitable temperature, such that the bridge between the furan-group-containing oligomer/compound and the bismaleimide compound is broken. As such, the furan-group-containing oligomer/compound and the bismaleimide compound are recovered back to original non-cross-linked state, thereby being beneficial to recycle and reuse the composition. If the furan-group-containing oligomer has a specific structure, it will be cross-linked with the bismaleimide compound at a temperature of 80° C. to 150° C. Furthermore, the cross-linked composition will reverse to non-cross-linked state through a reverse crosslinking reaction when the temperature is larger than 200° C.

[Reversible Reaction Test and Result]

The cross-linked compositions I to X prepared in Examples 10 to 19 were crushed. The cross-linked compositions were heated to about 250° C.˜300° C. to crack the crosslinking bondings and reverse back to varnish state, and then cooled to 60° C.˜80° C. to further harden to bulks. The bulks were analyzed by reflection IR spectroscopy (Spectrum One-54415, PERLIN ELMER) to measure their IR spectra. In the IR spectra data, the original C═C character peak on BMI-1000 of 822 cm−1 reappeared, and the signal intensity of the C—O—C character peak on the furan group of 1068 cm−1 was obviously enhanced, which means that the crosslinking bondings of the cross-linked compositions were cracked, thereby recovering back to the compositions of furan group-containing oligomer and/or compound and BMI-1000.

[Discussion of Analysis Results]

For the reversible crosslinking reactant compositions in Examples, the two maleimide groups of the bismaleimide compound could react with the furan groups of two furan group-containing oligomer or compound through the 1,2-addition reaction. When the steric structure achieved a specific temperature, the bondings formed from the 1,2-addition reaction would be cracked, thereby breaking the bridge between the furan group-containing oligomer/compound and the bismaleimide compound for recovering back to original reactants. The above properties are beneficial to recycle and reuse the compositions. According to the result of the Examples, the reversible crosslinking reactant compositions of the disclosure had a stable structure, high thermal resistance, and high reversible temperature, which were beneficial for use in high-temperature processes. For example, the composition serving as the insulation resin material for PCB should be intact during the reflow process, such that the reversible temperature of the composition was preferably higher than or equal to 250° C.

A glass fiber cloth was impregnated in the varnish, and then backed at 170° C. to prepare a prepreg. The prepregs were laminated with copper foil to form copper clad laminate. The lamination process was performed at a temperature of 170° C.˜190° C. for 1 hours to 2 hours under a pressure of 350 psi-450 psi. The prepared copper clad laminate was FR-4 plate for general PCB.

[Analysis of Properties and Result]

The copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example were analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (Q10, TA Instrument Co., Ltd.) under the standard IPC-TM-650.2.4.24 to measure their glass transfer temperature (Tg), as tabulated in Table 7. The copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example were analyzed by thermomechanical analyzer (Q400, TA Instrument Co., Ltd.) under the standard IPC-TM-650.2.4.24 to measure their coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), as tabulated in Table 7. The copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (Q500, TA Instrument Co., Ltd.) under the standard IPC-TM-650 2.3.40 to measure their degradation temperature (Td), as tabulated in Table 7. The copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example were respectively sampled as 5 mg and analyzed by differential scanning calorimeter (Q10, TA Instrument Co., Ltd.), in which each of the samples was heated to 350° C. at a heating rate of 5° C./min to measure the reversible crosslinking temperature (Tr) of the copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example, as tabulated in Table 7. The copper clad laminates in Examples 22 and Comparative Example were analyzed by resonant cavity type microwave dielectrometer (AET company, Japan) under the standard JIS-compliant 1641 to measure their dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df), as tabulated in Table 7. As shown in Table 7, the copper clad laminates in Example 22 and Comparative Example had similar dielectric constant and similar dissipation factor. Compared to Comparative Example, the copper clad laminate in Example 22 had a reversible crosslinking temperature of 300° C. The resin in the copper clad laminate in Example 22 can be reversible cross-linked by heating to about 300° C., thereby forming the furan-group-containing oligomer and/or compound and the bismaleimide compound for being recycled.

[Reversible Reaction Test and Result]

The copper clad laminate in Example 22 was etched to remove the copper foils, and then put into a solution of about 250° C. to 300° C. to dissolve and recycle the composition. The recycled resin composition was collected and analyzed by reflection IR spectroscopy (Spectrum One-54415, PERLIN ELMER) to measure its IR spectrum. In the IR spectrum data, the C═C character peak on BMI-1000 of 822 cm−1 reappeared, and the signal intensity of the C—O—C character peak on the furan group of 1068 cm−1 was obviously enhanced, which means that the crosslinking bondings of the resin compositions were cracked, thereby recovering back to the original furan group-containing oligomer or compound and BMI-1000. In addition, the recycled resin composition was cured again, and the cured resin composition had the same Tg as that of the cured original resin composition (Example 18). It further proves that the composite material in Example 19 can be recycled to be reused.

[Discussion of Analysis Results]

The composites prepared by methods of Examples included reversible crosslinking reactant compositions, thereby increasing the recycling ratio of the composites. For example, utilizing the compositions with a reversible crosslinking temperature higher than or equal to 250° C. may improve the recycling ratio of PCB, therefore reducing the CO2 emission amounts. In addition, the recycled compositions can be repeatedly used as the insulation resin during fabricating PCB or sub-quality raw material for achieving the circular economy.
